All's well for Halliwell...
 Oh,
no, I'm gutted. Absolutely gutted. I've just heard that my
ears will now not be thrilling to the golden voice of ex Herb
Girl, Geri Halliwell.
I was so looking forward to popping along to one of her concerts
and hearing her sing as Mimi from La Boheme. Well, don't all
the brown-nosers say she's got a great voice?
Anyway, apparently the former Herb Girl has cancelled her
Australian tour because she was insulted on a Melbourne radio
station.
No, she wasn't told she was too short, couldn't sing, or
wasn't as good looking as any of the other Herbies - she was
in fact played a joke message from former group-mate, Posh
Herb.
Now the station, naughty old Fox FM, used a tape from an
interview with Posh Herb in which the unmentionable girl says
"Hi, how are you?"
Oh boy, if only the worst insult I ever had was "Hi,
how are you?" Usually it's "rack off Gramps,"
or "call that a body?" or, "hey Methuselah
did you kill the dinosaurs?"
According to Grumpy's most excellent sources, Geri Herb threw
a mega-tanty, spat the dummy and immediately cancelled her
tour Down Under - furious at the lack of respect she was shown.
Now Geri, my dear, respect has to be earnt. Respect comes
from doing a hard day's work for a good day's pay - not pretending
to be a great pop diva who only attracts teenyboppers or dirty
old men wanting to squiz at your navel. (Just watch what you
think readers!)
Let's be subtle Ms Herb. I reckon I sing better than you
do. I also have much better musical taste, can carry a conversation
and - I'm not blond.
I also am not a Coronation St refugee, do not eat chip butties,
hate Manchester (Pussbuckets) United, have an IQ far in excess
of 90 and - do not have an appalling accent that screams the
sort of class I come from.
How about that … feel really insulted now? Hopefully,
that will keep you from ever darkening these shores with your
crap music.
There are too many good Australian bands, singers and groups
to see to have to put up with more English tripe!
